But my full name, Tyler Okonma, in all caps just looks really cool. So you might see more of that, I don\u2019t know, I\u2019m getting older and I think when people get older they start to realize shit, you just start changing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"On Top of a Mountain with Tyler, The Creator | Fast Company\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ywlWU6nDDRA?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>The interview took place in Malibu earlier this month as Tyler, The Creator was promoting his new fashion endeavor GOLF le FLEUR at a pop-up shop.
